7.b) Hints and Tips
----------------
Here I am going to give you some tips on how to get the Time Attack
Achievements...
Firstly, you are going to need to sort out the settings, Make sure...
The Life Gauge is on Smallest.
The Match Point is on 1.
The game is set on Normal Mode.
Time Attack Single Hints and Tips:
---------------------------------
Done? Okay, make sure you use a powerful but quick character for
the single mode achievements... I recommend Hayate...
Now just kill the enemies as quickly as possible. The fight against
Alpha-152 can be hard sometimes, so below I'll list some basics on
how to defeat her.
Here you go:
------------
Make sure you do not attack her when she is getting up, otherwise she
will teleport and hit you.
Backflips and charges up attacks are good against Alpha-152, so
make sure you take advantage of Hayate's powerful and quick moves.
Don't worry about her countering, she rarely does that, so always be
on the offence.
Thats about it!
Time Attack Tag Hints and Tips:
---------------------------
Make sure the settings are the same as listed above... the characters
you should choose are Hayate and Ayane or Hayabusa... I recommend
Ayane because she is quicker.
Just focus on killing the enemies as quickly as possible. If you
don't get the gold first, then keep trying and you will eventually
get it.
Good Luck!

You should use Hayate...

order to get the achievement...
789
456
123
P = Punch
K = Kick
RT = Right Trigger Kick ( Remember to press the right trigger for this one )
Examples:
-----------
8 = Jump
6 = Move forwards
4 = Move backwards
2 = Crouch
6P = Forward Punch
2P = Low Punch
2K = Low Kick
2RT = Low Kick
I hope you've got the hang of it because this is how I'll be explaining
the moves...
Hayate's Moves:
-----------------
PP2KP, 66KKK, 9KKK, 3RTKP, 236P, 7K, 2RT, 4RT, 8PK, 8P8K,
46PK, 46PP...
They should be the only moves you need to learn!
Hayabusa's Moves:
-----------------
7P6P, RTRTRT, PPKKK, 2RTKP, 2RTKK, 7K
They should be the only moves you need to learn!
If you know more than I've listed, or want to do more, then thats fine,
but I got my achievement by just doing those moves!
*******************************************************************************
8.d) The Survival System:
-----------------------
Okay, this is pretty simple stuff, but it really does help a lot, especially
if you want to reassure yourself...
See as you kill people in survival mode, they are different levels...
I'll explain in greater detail below
Level 1:
---------
Level 1 are the following number of kills, 1-6, 11-16, 21-26, 31-36. 41-46,
51-56, 61-66, 71-76, 81-86 and 91-96... these are the easiest enemies to
beat, these are the enemies you want to be spamming just one or two moves
on... they hardly ever counter, and their defence is awful... if you give
them a chance to attack, they will do quite a lot of damage... so make
sure you are always offensive against these characters...
What I am saying is that the difficulty doesn't change whether your
fighting 1 or 91!
Level 2:
---------
Level 2 are the following number of kills, 7-8, 17-18, 27-28,37-38, 47-48,
57-58, 67-68, 77-78, 87-88 and 97-98... these are harder than level 1,
but they are not that hard, keep your cool and you'll be able to defeat
these with ease... Keep doing the moves you did for level 1, but add one
or two new moves to keep them on their toes...
Again, I am saying that the difficulty doesn't change whether your
fighting 8 or 98!
Level 3:
---------
Level 3 are the following number of kills, 9, 19, 29,39,49,59,69, 79,
89 and 99... these enemies are tough, but can be dealt with easily with a
few new moves, and maybe a couple of low attacks...
Again I am saying that the difficulty doesn't change whether your
fighting 9 or 99!
Level 4:
---------
Level 4 are the following number of kills, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70,
80, 90 and 100... these enemies are the toughest you will face, but if
you mess them up with low attacks, and a variety of other attacks, then
you should have no problem with them...
Again I am saying that the difficulty doesn't change whether your
fighting 10 or 100!
*******************************************************************************
8.e) Survival Single:
-----------------
Okay, I'm going to give you a few tips and hints to get you to your
100 wins, first off...
Have the setting on Hard Mode, I know what you're thinking, but seriously
I could not get 100 on normal mode, then I did it on hard mode and got the
100! Just trust me... if it doesn't work, then try it on normal... Also
make sure the life is on smallest... Now begin...
Remember, choose Hayate...
Everytime someone enters the ring, do 236P, if they are in the right
position they will hit the ring and then bouce off it, do this move
again and this will have knocked over half their health down!
You should mainly do 236P, 66KKK and 2RT on Level 1 enemies...
On Level 2 enemies you should continue doing this, but also do 7K...
On Level 3 enemies you should change your moves, do 2RT still, but also
do 3RTKP and 9KKK...
On Level 4 enemies, really mix up your attacks, do 236P as soon as they
come in, then PP2KP and also 4RT followed by 2K, Also 8PK and
8P8K come in handy for these enemies...
Good Luck!
A side note... Keep to the guide, and pause it every so often to let yourself
have a break, if you feel shaky towards the end, take a break and pause
it, you have all the time in the world! Also, only counter if your 99% sure
of what the computer is going to do, if you keep countering, you'll
get killed!
*******************************************************************************
8.f) Survival Tag:
-----------------
Okay, this is the easier one to do... I'm going to give you some tips and
hints to get your 100 wins, firstly...
Have the difficulty either on Normal or Hard, Normal is recommended
for this one... Once again, have the life setting on smallest... Now begin...
Remember, choose Hayate and Hayabusa or instead of Hayabusa, your
best character...
Use the same technique as before with Hayate... if either one of your
tag members get hurt, tag them out and play with the other character
for a while, while the character who is hurt is inactive, his/her life
will regenerate...
Good Luck!
A side note... Keep to the guide, and pause it every so often to let yourself
have a break, if you feel shaky towards the end, take a break and pause
it, you have all the time in the world! Also, only counter if your 99% sure
of what the computer is going to do, if you keep countering, you'll
get killed!
*******************************************************************************
8.g) Items:
-----------
Okay, below I am going to list the Items in Survival Mode, this is
going to be in a list so you can see more clearly.
Here you go:
------------
Candy
Crown
Doughnut
Hot Dog
Hourglass
Ring
Slots x3
Treasure
Xbox
Xbox 360
Unfortunately there is no way on the game to check and see which
Items you have or haven't got, so make a list and then cross them out
when you have got them...
On a side note, the slot machines look the same, but listen to the sound
they make, they are all different and that is how you will know if you
have them...
Good Luck!

*******************************************************************************
9.b) Ranks
-----------
In this section I am going to tell you about the Ranks on Dead or Alive
Online, and how to get the certain rank you are looking for...
Here you go:
-----------
Ranking System:
----------------
The Ranking System works in Grade Points, if you win then you gain
Grade Points, and if you lose then you lose Grade Points... Also if you
beat somebody who has a higher rank than you, you will gain extra
Grade Points, but if you lose to someone who's rank is lower than
yours, then you will lose extra Grade Points.
Pretty Simple huh?
How to achieve Ranks F, E and D:
----------------------------
To achieve these ranks, go online and lose... a lot, you could also
ask your friends to help you get these achievements by having them
beat you all the time.
How to achieve Ranks B, A, S and SS:
------------------------------
Okay, these achievements can be tough... if you want an easy way,
ask your friends to let you win, if you keep winning you'll get them
eventually... having a high winning streak as well helps, because you
get extra Grade Points for having a higher streak.
Good Luck!
*******************************************************************************
9.c) Stars:
-----------
In this section I'm going to tell you how to get the stars...
These achievements seem quite tricky, but they are not... you
can have your friends help you, have them beat you the correct
number of times, and then let you win... or there is another way.
It's not a cheat, you need to have a second controller, with a second
account... it doesn't necessarily have to be an online account...
Now have the account you do not want the achievement for,
( Your offline account ) beat the account you do want the achievement
for, ( Your online account ) the correct ammount of times. Then beat
the account with the winning streak and go online. Enter a games room
where people are fighting and join in the session... make sure that there
are more than two people in the room, so you don't have to fight.
Now when someone has won a game while you are in the room, you will
get the achievement... pretty simple huh?
*******************************************************************************
9.d) Winning/Losing Streaks:
------------------------
These achievements are very easy to get, all you have to do is have
your friends let you win or let them win... another way is that you can
just go against lower grades to get the wins, and go against higher grades
to get the losses!
It really is that simple!
*******************************************************************************
